5050 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Looking forward to the show, although I still need to work out what what I am going to take with me. Probably another batch of CDAs to improve... Its been a while since I last made it, so will be good to catch up with people (and of course finally buy a set of rolling bars.) I will be on the DEMU stand on Saturday. Can't believe how much I am taking! I reckon I'm prepared for all eventualities but even then someone will probably ask me something I can't give/show an answer to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougN Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Have a great time. It's a bit far for me to just drop over. Horse if there's a finney A1 on the bring and buy drop me a line...or anything else you know I would like. If I could afford it I think I would make it every year or 2 but the air fare and school fees put paid to that... just wish Australia was a bit closer.... how about moving scalefour to HongKong, Singapore, Dubai or Bangkok? That would work for me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 ...Horse if there's a finney A1 on the bring and buy drop me a line...or anything else you know I would like.... Finney A1 on Bring-and-Buy unlikely; it'll have long gone by the time I get into the show. As for "anything else", what exactly would you be after?

I'll keep an eye out for you on the test track. I'm going to meet Robin gay who is there with his 'Wantage Tramway' layout as he was the chap who also wanted Shannon/No 5.

Having once brought nine coaches and a loco over for a show in the UK as hand luggage, I can confirm that it sends security in panic mode.

Horsetan Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Well that was a relatively quiet Saturday. Managed 64mpg in the diesel. Some interesting products seen, including a GCR 9P..... Couple of bargains in the Bring 'n Buy, which is accepting card payments courtesy of PayPal wireless. Emphasis seems to be on trade rather than layouts this year. Meanwhile, the rain came down. Edited September 22, 2018 by Horsetan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted September 22, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 22, 2018 Was surprised that it was so quiet today, but still had a great time. Good to catch up with a lot of people I haven’t seen in years. A little annoyed to have missed the mad rush on GW models rollers in the first 2 hours of the show. An hour searching for a cashpoint followed by my first hour on the DEMU stand and Gw Models had sold out before I could get there! Equally low luck on the bring and buy front, but fulfilled the rest of my shopping list at least. Cannot wait for next year and a chance to see Balcome Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) Was surprised that it was so quiet today.... To be honest, I think this might have been hinted at in the programme, which was slightly* light on big layouts. On the other hand, Howard Bolton's all-singing, all-dancing lever and interlocking frame demos plus working point rodding runs were totally mad genius. That massive frame he had on his table was like some sort of bravura performance; a lot of solder went into that. ....A little annoyed to have missed the mad rush on GW models rollers in the first 2 hours of the show.

RMweb Premium PMP Posted September 22, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 22, 2018 I got there early afternoon, preferred it to last years show. Nice selection of layouts which all were working well, and a good cross section of trade. Impression was it was attended by punters. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium polybear Posted September 22, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 22, 2018 Excellent exhibition, with the B&B being kind to me. I did think it was a bit light on layouts this year (there was a large area adjacent to the test track that seemed somewhat spare) though for me the range and talent of the demonstrators made up for it.

PenrithBeacon Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 A good show, I enjoyed it. I did think, though, that the hall was laid out in a very untidy fashion and there were clear spaces available for further layouts. As to trade it was good but I could have done with a quality scenic supplier and why on Earth were Cheltenham invited? Even if you think a box shifter is appropriate for Scaleforum there are much, much better than they. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
